Singapore Police Unmask Luxury‑Looting Duo, Trace Their Vanishing Act
In a twist that feels straight out of a thriller, Singapore’s police have finally laid out the faces of the sinister pair behind a slick $32 million fraud. They’re a 26‑year‑old Singaporean named Pi Jiapeng (26) and a 27‑year‑old Thai woman called Pansuk Siriwipa (27).
How They Bowed Out
Allegedly on 4 July, the pair disappeared for good by slipping into the cargo hold of a lorry. Authorities talk about a “container compartment” escape, and the two have had arrest warrants and Interpol “red notices” slapped on their names.
Other Strings in the Web
- Investigations are underway into allegations of cheating involving Tradenation and Tradeluxury, companies tied to the duo.
- A Malaysian aide, Mohamed Alias (40), has allegedly helped them slip off the Singapore skyline, according to an ICA spokesman.
Fugitives in Handcuffs (and Hiding)
Pi was arrested on 27 June on suspicion of cheating, then released on bail the next day after a passport was impounded. His wife, Siriwipa, cooperated for a while, surrendering her passport on 30 June, but the couple suddenly vanished from contact.
Today’s Casebook – 180+ Reports
Since June, at least 180 complaints have been lodged against the pair. Victims say they pressed deep into their wallets for luxury watches and handbags, only to find their money slipped away with a big shrug and no goods.
